Cassius Winston’s hair has growna little longer since March. His facial hair? Let’s just say it’s nowhere near James Harden’s level.
“I was really hoping my beard was gonna come in,” Winston said with a laugh while stroking his chin on a video teleconference with reporters Monday, “but it didn’t really work out.”
That’s fitting. Winston knows his journey from Michigan State basketball to the NBA is his to forge, unique with the experiences of a roller-coaster year of ultimate highs, painful lows and a gamut of everything in between.
